§ MR. J. O'CONNOR (Tipperary, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that Mr. P. D. Kenny, of Birmingham, lately shadowed in Ireland by the police, writes to the Daily News, saying that
Politics are no part of his business," denying "that he belongs to the National League of Great Britain," or "that he gave any one authority to describe him as about to attend an Irish meeting," and adding "that, there was no reason in fact for the conduct of the police;and whether, in, view. of these statements, he has any further information to communicate to the House as to this case?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI am not aware whether Mr. Kenny wrote the letter referred to, but it is altogether at variance with his utterances reported in the Nationalist Press. Mr. Kenny has publicly stated that he was a member of the National League of Great Britain, and he is reported as having attended meetings of suppressed branches of the League.
